qmail is supposed to be used with "softlimit" from daemontools. All decent tutorials mention that.
Again, which C++ program has been even analyzed to that level?
- SamReidHughes 10y agoDid it ever occur to you that if a C++ programmer of security mindset wanted to make something like postfix or qmail, they'd just pick a language that was garbage collected?
- 101291091 10y agoNo, it did not occur to me. The reason is precisely that I have not seen this mindset among C++ programmers, at least in the open source world. Llvm is an exception. What I do see is hubris. They are overconfident and pretend that one can use C++ like Haskell, i.e. one can safely go ahead and pile one abstraction onto another. C programmers at least know the limitations of their language. This is the just impression that I and many others get. I'm sure there are counterexamples.
